and now david chu. and as dennis knows because he was the city attorney for trump one this office has its work cut out for it and making very ,very clear that if you're coming for san franciscans, you're coming through the san francisco city attorney's office and whether it is making sure that they don't try again to subpoena abortion records from san francisco general hospital which they tried the first time around and the city attorney's office shut that down or going after all of our immigrant neighbors who have helped build this city and make this city run and are being targeted and demonized now we're standing with our lgbtq community and i will say as a gay man that there is a certain select set of straight elected officials where you never have to explain anything to them. they just intuitively forget about our community. and david chu is one of those people. >> so david, i am i am so proud of you. i am so proud of the work that you have done that you are doing and that i know that you will do. c

david: so you already knew him.et's talk about baltimore, you went to my hometown of baltimore where the library system is called the enoch pratt free library system. and you became the head librarian of the system for 22 years. then, the president of the united states has the responsibility to nominate for senate confirmation the librarian of congress. why don't members of congress nominate the librarian of congress since it's a congress thing? dr. hayden: i believe that started with lincoln and it would be a position that the president would nominate similar to a supreme court justice, it was that type of position. you still have to be confirmed by the senate and i went through that process. david: you interviewed with president obama and he said do you want to be librarian of congress, and i guess you said you were interested. dr. hayden: i was concerned about what i could bring to the position because i had been so involved with public libraries, public access, all of that, but i never thought of actually being

david: who comes up with these names? >> not me, david. we can't have names too close to each other because of mistakes, can't have drugs that say what they do, and can't have drugs that are only good in english. so we end up with strange names. we launched the first gp-1 medication in the world in 2005. on the cover of our next report is a woman using the drug. she said my diabetes is under control and i'm losing some weight. 2006. the cover of the annual report. we had to improve the medicines to really make them effective for weight loss. one big improvement was to make them weekly, that's a convenience benefit, but even more important, the action of the medicine flatter, being more consistent through the day and night. when we had it twice and day -- twice a day there were ups and down. one effect of glp-1 medications, they cause nausea and g.i. distress. that is a function of the up and down in your system. when it was weekly, it was dosed higher and the changes were flatter, so made it better for weight loss. that was an accidental b

david? david: david spunt, thank you so much.9th president while working with him at the boys and girls' club of albany, georgia. the former ceo marvin laster joins me now. i know his relationship with the boys and girls club goes back decades, but you were summoned to see him just relatively recently, back in 2018. you were summoned the go to his house. explain what happened. >> absolutely. thank you for having me on the show, first of all. and my prayers go out to the entire carter family9 and the plains community. i was summoned by at that time his secretary, miss peggy. i got a phone call one friday to say, hey, are you available to meet with president and mrs. if carter at their home today? and i said, absolutely. i only have one caveat, can i bring my board president along with me, and they agreed. we went through our secret service check, and we pulled up and got to the front door can of the house k and he opened the door, and he said, hi, i'm jimmy carter. i'm like, jeez with, i know who you are. [laughter] you don't know

david: so you have more than books. you have regular books, comic books, you have maps, you have manuscripts. dr. hayden: photographs, film, all types. any format. david: let me ask you, today, almost everything is digitized, it seems, so why do we need libraries, since you can go on a computer and get everything? do you need to really keep all these books? why not just digitize them and say, thank you? dr. hayden: there are so many items that have not been digitized and might not ever be digitized. when you think about the diaries of theodore roosevelt, the library of congress has the papers of 23 presidents, from george washington to coolidge. there are still analog materials that could be digitized, but will be in analog form. and books, even though you can get things in digital form, there are still people and there still will be an appetite for a physical item. but the future is definitely digital, and so libraries like the library of congress, british library, all libraries, are making sure that they have the infr

roger: those guys are too smart for me, david. david: i doubt that.or people who are watching now and people say, what did he put in his letter that was so persuasive to get an internship at the nfl. what did you say for future people who want to write letters to put in their letter? roger: i have a copy of it over there. i would say it wasn't the letter. i think it was the fact that i wrote 53 times. at one point the executive director said, if you are ever in new york, come by. i said, i happen to be in new york. he said, can you come by at 8:00. the problem was i was in pittsburgh. i drove all night to get there. i think you just have to take advantage of your opportunities and distinguish yourself in some ways. of what you are deeply passionate about. and what you think you can create value for. david: let's talk about your own back on for a moment. where were you born? roger: jamestown, new york. i grew up in washington d.c. though. david: what did your parents do? roger: my mother was a nurse. my father was a politician. david: he was a congress

david: $3.99? dave: no. this is a valuable innovation, david. $399 a month. about $100 a week.s a sacrifice for many. that's without insurance. with insurance most people pay $25 a month. so that's the importance of insurance. that is why we buy insurance to to shield us from health costs. online ones are as cheap as $100. these are companies that want the benefits of being a drug pane but bear none of the responsibles. david: let us talk about the company today. how many employees does the company have today? dave: 44,000. david: and you're headquartered in indianapolis. dave: that is correct. david: where do you manufacture your drugs, mostly in the u.s.? mostly overseas? dave: mostly in the u.s., a large part in europe as well. in the u.s. we're building a lot of plants right now, mostly to support zepbound and mounjaro. david: this is so transformative. when did you know that you were going to become the biggest pharmaceutical company in the world by a factor of four or five times. dave: it's hard to know. the story is this. in 2016 i was named incoming c.e.o. and that fall

david: your parents did what? gov.re: my father was a radio journalist and my mother was his assisted. david: your father died when you were three years old? gov. moore: he died from something -- a flap, his became so swollen it just sat on top of his windpipe. his body suffocated itself and he died in front of me. david: did you realize what was happening? gov. moore: i did. in fact, my mother tells a story about at his funeral, my uncle took me up to go see his body for the final time in the casket and i touched him and asked him if he would come with us. even at that time i had no idea what had fully happened and did not process it until i got older. david: you have siblings? gov. moore: an older sister and a younger sister. my mother had a tough time in the transition. she did not feel safe. she called up my grandparents. david: were you a great student? a great athlete? gov. moore: i was not a great student. the work actually came easy to me. the attention to detail and the interest in doing it did not. by the tim

david: the only one.: in my particular year, there was a protest vote where five people did not turn in a ballot in that particular year, as a protest to the steroid era. so, they counted against you. david: did anybody ever come to you and say, look, you are good, but you could be better if you take some of these drugs? cal: no. looking back on it, you could probably see signs in hindsight, that players who might have used. when you are playing, if you are not in that secret society, you don't know. and i didn't know. david: so, some players, they were, like, 180 pounds, and then later they are 250 pounds. you didn't suspect maybe they were doing something unusual? cal: yes. [laughter] david: you are 6'4". and traditionally shortstops were more my height. and when you came along, people didn't want people like me to be shortstops anymore. so, did you change the game of baseball by saying, shortstops should be big and better hitters? or is everybody going back to the old mode of, big, fast, and good baseb

david: so senator?there a single republican, either in the house or in the senate, who has any problems with those plans? >> well if there has i haven't met them and i think i've known chris for years he's a fantastic pick for this position one of the smartest guys i know and as you heard him say drill baby drill is critical but not just about oil & gas. nuclear is key, all forms of energy are key because energy dominance is absolutely critical for america in the 21st sents are. energy security is national security and chris understands that and will do a great job. david: he's really a pioneer in fracking in a whole range of issues involving fossil fuels but the point is, and i think you just made it in a nutshell but the point is, this world, not just the united states, the whole world needs an enormous amount of energy. much more than we thought 10 years ago and we're not going to get it from windmills and solar energy, right? >> and it's not that we need it now. it's that we're going to need exponen

david? >> david: that is so important. kayna whitworth, our thanks to you, and to mola lenghi, as well. >>> just a short time ago, our station here in los angeles, kabc, was able to get up into the air to see this from above. and it's staggering. reporting gabe santos reporting in a short time ago on what he saw. >> reporter: david, this is about 10 or 15 miles from downtown los angeles, but it is a very populated neighborhood in the suburbs. you can see just how vast of a scene this is. we've counted alone over 100 structures destroyed. looks like that one's going to be a complete loss. and a home right next to us, fire crews on scene. we have, you know, a partial structure collapse. we saw the flames creep up the hill towards this home, and those fire protection crews are trying to get some of the flames out, there are multiple neighborhoods that we see that appear to be just completely flattened, as if a tornado or a hurricane has swept through. it is almost emotional in nature, when you take in just how vast of an area

david: earth, wind, and to fire. i'm david asman in for stuart varney. lips get to your money. 2 of 3 of the indexes are trading in plus category, the s&p and the nasdaq, markets seem to be on the gain rather than the losing side, 7 basis points to 4.65. are we going to look at the 2-year which is down a bit. it is down a little bit. crude oil is down $0.29 to $74. bitcoin was way up earlier and is still up $2,000 to one hundred 5936, almost one hundred $6,000. we just got the latest read on existing home sales. madison: it rose on a seasonally adjusted annual basis so higher for the third month in a row. prices came in at 404,000. david: third year is up 7%. consumer sentiment. lauren: down 4%, first decrease in six months. the issue is tariff fears which are inflationary, one year inflation expectations. david: that is a lagging indicator. this is a time everybody thought this was one of the first things donald trump would be doing, may be better now. alexandria ocasio cortez ranting about donald trump's second term in office. >> he is much more normal

david: you joined eli lilly when? >> i followed my girlfriend, now my wife, who was going to school in indiana. i needed something to do there. i decided to enroll in the m.b.a. program. medicine is a four-year degree, m.b.a. is two, i still needed something to do in indiana so i joined lilly. david: what was your position in the beginning? >> i looked at transactions in the finance and business development group. great introduction. david: did you ever say i'm going to be the c.e.o. someday? >> not then. i was thinking i'll be here for two years and then off to chicago or san francisco and do something different. but i fell in love with the company. it's an amazing place. it's a very humanistic culture. but yet very rigorous and scientific. so it's demanding, smart people but people are nice to each other. it's the midwest. i fell in love with thing my, what down better than making medicine for people? i worked on a medicine to collaborate and bring into the company for buy diabetes. right as i was leaving that job m

david: why do you need a card? dr. hayden: it is a card, it is a reader's card to give you access to the materials, to say you are responsible, even though you can't check them out. it's to have a record of who is coming in to do that. what we've done is expand the offerings we have for young people. we have a young people's ambassador for literature. we have literacy programs. and you have been involved in giving actual awards to literacy groups that help young people learn how to read. and so, the offerings we have for young people have expanded greatly. david: literacy is a big problem in the united states. i think 14% of adults are functionally illiterate, which means they can't read past the fourth-grade level. that is a large percentage of the population. nothing the library of congress can do can completely solve that problem, but are you surprised at how any people still cannot read in this country and how many people have another problem called aliteracy, which means they can read, but they do not choose to re
